Given :

Cost Price = Rs. 25000

Selling Price = Rs. 18250

To find :

Loss Percentage

Solution :

We know that,

C.P > S.P = Loss

Loss = C.P - S.P

= Rs. 25000 - 18250

= Rs. 6750

Hence, loss is Rs. 6750.

$\sf \: Loss \: \% = \sf \dfrac{loss}{CP} \times 100$

$\sf \: Loss \: \% = \dfrac{6750}{25000} \times 100$

$\sf = \dfrac{675000}{25000}$

$\sf = 27\%$

Hence, the Loss % is 27%.

• Loss = C.P - S.P
• Profit = S.P - C.P

$\tt Loss/Profit \% = \sf \dfrac{loss/Profit}{CP} \times 100$
